Song of the Day (Dance of the Day?) - COLINDA : Doug Sahm with The Sir Douglas Quintet

Doug Sahm with the Sir Douglas Quintet - Colinda (1970)

From the odds and sods LP Rough Edges, here’s a Cajun flavoured tune from Sir Doug.

One of my very favourite Cajun dance tunes! From my discovering the folk music of the area from Cajun to Nawleans, R ’n’ B to Zydeco Clifton Chenier et al and hearing bands like Companions of the Rosy Hours live in Kent at Broadstairs Folk Festival way back when, I have loved the authentic sound of Cajun roots music and this is the same fan music from the legendary Doug Sahm and The Sir Douglas Quintet
